Final dreambikes auction: Focus Raven

Here it is… the final week to become the envy of any ride by getting your hands on a one-of-a-kind dreambike from Hans Rey and the team at crankbrothers! Bidding has already begun on the last 2 mountain bikes from Titus and Focus, so it’s time to act if you want to bid on these gorgeous rolling works of art (that also happen to be trail-shedding machines!)

All of the proceeds from the dreambikes auctions will support Hans Rey’s Wheels4Life charity in their work to provide bikes to deserving people in developing countries, bikes that make a difference in whether or not these people can get to school, to work, or to provide health care to patients in remote locations.

This final dreambikes auction serves up some serious off-road firepower. Up for bid is this size mediumTitus Rockstar 29 carbon mountain bike, which weighs in at 26.7lbs with 29″ wheels:

If a flat-out racing rocket is more your speed, also up for auction is this size medium Focus Raven carbon hardtail! This race-ready steed weighs in at 20.2lbs and sports a full SRAM XX component group:

If Edgar Allen Poe’s dour avian interlocutor was ever to be reincarnated as a mountain bike, the Focus Raven would be the logical choice. This exotic-looking, German-built carbon hardtail is a XC racer’s fantasy. It’s feather-light, accelerates like a demon, and handles like a dream. Selected by Germany’s Mountain Bike Magazine as a best-in-class off-road racing machine, and winner of the Eurobike Gold Award, the Raven is the last word in high-end, high-performance hardtails. This unique dreambikes edition sports a Rock Shox SID XX fork, custom crankbrothers cobalt wheels, cobalt 11 bar, stem and seatpost, SRAM XX for go and whoa, fizik Tundra saddle and Continental Race King tires. It’s one-of-a-kind, so when bidding closes, this rare Raven is nevermore.

Just remember to get your bid in before this final auction ends on Sunday 12/19 at 8PM ET.

What are you waiting for… don’t miss your chance to bid on a bike & change a life!
